I have done 5 sets,  ( if I remember right ). You need access to a lathe to turn the hubs down to fit inside of the Buick drums and a drill press if your changing the bolt pattern. If you do a search on the HAMB I think you should find what your looking for. ( I see this is an old thread )

I did mine with far less machineing. I used the earlyer hubs (40) had a spacer ring pressed to the snout to index the drum to thee hub. The drum slides over the hub. Then I redrilled the bolt pattern on the drum to match the hub. Then all that's left is assembly with your choice of ford parts, backing plates & spindles.
